Audiovox's CMOS2 rear-view camera adds safety and convenience to your vehicle. And with five different mounting options and included hardware, you're sure to find a good spot for installing your camera.

Audiovox's CMOS2 rear-view camera adds safety and convenience to your vehicle. And with five different mounting options and included hardware, you're sure to find a good spot for installing your camera.

Connect the CMOS2 to your in-dash monitor, and you automatically see what's behind your car or truck when you shift into reverse. The 170-degree wide-angle view gives you a great view of potential trouble spots. The camera comes with a 7-foot cable, so you'll need a composite video cable to route through your vehicle to your in-dash monitor. Warranty: 1 year.

Note: A rear-view camera provides an additional view when reversing your vehicle. It is intended to be used in conjuction with your rear- and side-view mirrors to give a fuller picture of what's behind you. It is not intended as a replacement for your mirrors.

Quality is lacking

I originally purchased a different brand that, while a quality camera in every way, did not work out for my application. The Audiovox was sent to replace that camera. This camera was more expensive camera than the first one but the quality of this camera is very lacking. The threaded ring to secure the camera is very thin as are the threads. I hope it will hold up on rough roads and road vibration. The picture is not near as clear as the lessor expensive camera. It only came with a seven foot cable so I had to purchase a longer cable in order to plug it into the back of the stereo head unit.

CMOS back up camera

This product during the day is excellent. It has excellent picture but the camera is very grainy at night. I only wish the camera was just a Little smaller. Other than my preference for the size and the gaininess. I am going to enjoy this camera.

Pros:The camera has an excellent picture in day light. The camera comes with 5 different brackets making the install very good.

Camera is good, missing a feature

I like that the camera is round and can easily be oriented in the drilled hole, I do wish it had distance lines on it though.

Pros:Round body

Cons:No distance/guidance lines.

Very cheap quality

United 777 from Crown Point, IN on 1/24/2015

Very poor picture quality but good enough for back up camera. Any light source at the night time will blur the picture. It lasted a little over a month and moisture got inside of the lens. No way to remove the moisture so camera became completly useless. You get what you pay for. I just ordered new Clarion cc510 to replace it.

Pros:inexpensive

Cons:-comes without av cable
-many different brackets but most of them useless
-not waterproof and moisture got inside of the lens in 1 month
-pretty big size

very dim at night

Camera is very dim at night. I have a cheaper model on my truck & the picture looks much better. Also, be sure to notice that it does not come with a cable. A cable will set you back $-$$.

Pros:Comes with a bunch of differnt mounting brackets so it gives you a lot of options for mounting

Cons:Camera is very dim at night, & any lights wash things out. You need to supply your own cable with this and "thin" video cables for backup cameras are hard to find. I settled for a thicker higher quality cable but routing was more dificult.

Better suited to replace unit that was previously installed

If you are replacing a previously installed unit then this would be fine. If you are doing an original instal then recommend you buy the Audiovox unit with license plate mount that includes male to male cable. Does not include the male to male adapter cable to run into back of head unit--difficult to install.

Pros:Cheap

Cons:Does not have all materials for original install, no male cable to connect to head unit, requires drilling to mount (Other Audiovox unit does not).

Audiovox CMOS2

I just installed this camera on a suburban and it works well. Installed it through a Kenwood DDX 419 and picture looks good with the exception of a small portion of the top left corner that is blacked out. I'm not sure if it is my camera or HU. Overall, it meets my needs.

Excellent Choice

Installed in a 2005 Chevy Avalanche: Fit perfectly in the rear gate bezel

Pros:Excellent image
Small
Good Daytime quality
Good install options

Cons:Could have a wider field of view, but is ok
Short cables, you will need to purchase your own video cable to install
Night quality is not that great, however it works fine and I wood rather have the better daytime quality and no wash-out in the sun tthan perfect nightime. have to comprimise
should have alignment marks

Needs better cabling

When I had this working (for about 10 minutes) the video feed was crisp and gave a great rear view when mounted to my 2008 Toyota Tundra's rear bumper. Unfortunately the power cables are way too thin of a gauge (22g) for a 12 volt application. They should be at least 18g and probably 16g. I am trying to splice it into my factory trailer hitch wiring and the wires keep on breaking. At this point it is not worth returning it, so I will probably try opening it up and see if I can solder in some thicker gauge wires and see if that fixes my problems.

Pros:Great image, nice wide angle.

Cons:Wiring not appropriate for a 12 volt automotive application.

Works better than expected

Using this with a Clarion NZ501. Mounted it in the rear bumper. Works far better than I expected it to. Looks close to HD video, far better video and viewing angle than I have seen in some factory vehicles.

Great Camera!

I mounted this camera on my 2011 Chevy Silverado HD with a JVC Navigator. With all the mounting options I figure it wouldn't be hard to put it in the factory location. Went to the dealer and for 30 bucks got the factory bezel. With a little carving and an over-sized O-ring to fit a round peg in a square hole. The truck looks like it came with it. Now I feel much more confident backing up. I highly recommend this camera!

Peek a boo.. I see you.

The camera gives good images. It's a little hard to get leveled and the locking nut could be a little larger (more thread and larger in diameter) or an additional nut could be added to the kit. Be careful where you mount it. On an F350 the hole that exists in the bumper may look tempting... until you want to lower your spare tire... doah! Do yourself a favor and either mount it away from the lic. plate light or remove one of the bulbs. It doesn't do well with a light shining right at it.

Cool Camera!

I installed this camera in the drivers side of the tail gate latch of a 2007 F150 Crew cab. I
already had a factory back-up obstruction detection system but wanted more. Frankly I
needed to see better backing out of parking spaces and this camera does a great job in
daylight and dark. It has enough of a wide angle that it help you see other cars
aproaching. Installation is pretty easy although the instructons aren't the greatest. I
installed this with a Kenwood DNX-5160 player which has an option to turn the camera
on when you shift in to reverse and a button that turns the camera on. So here is where I
might save somebody a few head aches. If you just want the camera to work when you
shift in to reverse then wire it like the instructions say by wiring the camera power to the
back-up lights PLUS you will need to run a wire from the back-up lights to the sensor
wire on your Audio/video receiver if it has one. Now if you want to use the camera when
you are NOT in reverse then you need to run a power lead from an ignition switched
source to the camera's power lead. One beef I have is that the top of the camera isn't
marked and aligning the camera is more of a pain than you might guess. It is marketed
by a good company so it should last awhile. Bottom line is it made backing up in a large
truck a whole lot easier and safer.
